This Cheat Bulgogi is So Easy, You Can Make it Between Classes
Bulgogi (불고기) is a Korean dish made with beef or pork, where the meat is first marinated then barbecued over a fire — the Korean literally translates to "fire meat". In Korean home-cooking, and many Korean restaurants here in the United States however, the meat is typically stir-fried in a wok. The cooking process is quite involved: from thinly slicing the meat, to marinating it in various sauces and spices, to making sure the thinly sliced beef doesn't burn in the pan. With midterms right around the corner, ain't nobody got time for that! So, to hep you get more Korean home-cooked goodness into your life, here's our cheat version of bulgogi which takes 5 minutes from start to finish.
The key to making this recipe a cheat version is to use ground beef instead of slicing a fillet. I used PRE Brands' 1/3 pound 85% lean burger patties: the minced meat cooks in minutes and the 85% lean gives the perfect amount of fat, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth softness in every bite.

#SpoonTip: cook rice in a big batch, divide into single serve portions, and freeze them in ziplock bags so you can microwave a portion every time you cook this dish!
